Product Description

Travel is greatly shaped by those with whom we travel, and relationships are greatly shaped by the challenges of traveling together-which is precisely what makes this collection, with its specific focus on mother-daughter travel, so compelling. At some times irreverent and funny, at others, thought-provoking and reflective, these stories reveal what happens when mother and daughter step out of the complacent familiarity of routine into uncharted territory. Renowned travel writer Mary Morris reconnects with her pre-adolescent daughter on a trip to the Caribbean. Ariel Gore discovers who she is when she travels without her child. Susan Spano hikes the world in her mother's hand-me-down boots. Forced to interact in a new-and sometimes harrowing-context, these women offer not only ample inspiration and insight into how travel shapes this most complex and intimate of relationships-but a delightfully engrossing medley of travel adventures as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars heartwarming, May 25, 2004
By A Customer
The mother daughter bond has been explored from many angles, but never like this. It was heartwarming to read of the stories and see how travel had enriched their lives

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read and excellent gift!, February 16, 2004
By Katherine (VT, USA) - See all my reviews
A great collection of stories which explore the internal and external excitement of travel, the cultures we experience, the comparisons to the one we come from, the reasons we are drawn to these places, and most importantly the insights we gain and how they relate to those we love and are closest to. A thoughtfully compiled, intelligently edited and beautifully written book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Connections; Mother-Daughter Travel Adventures, January 12, 2004
By Margaret Ford (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
I picked this book up to read the story written by Marjorie Ford, whom my husband knows slightly. I ended up reading the book from cover to cover--and I never traveled much with my mother, and I don't have a daughter. It is just a wonderful collection of stories about relationships.
